Seems like this is massively overestimating Mastodon/Fediverse's reach.
@wrog the story ended up everywhere. Microsoft’s President got asked about it in front of Congress.
@GossiTheDog @wrog the research of someone on mastodon is on the front page of the guardian as we speak, too

this story seems to have *nothing* to do with MSFT Recall.
they had huge expectations on consumer demands based on never actually talking to consumers...
If anybody wants a smile btw, a MS employee told me they believe this Mastodon thread and my blog cost them over a billion dollars.
I think it’s firmly on Microsoft’s shoulders, the rollout of Recall and Copilot+ PC was just a series of own goals. They had huge expectations for it in terms of consumer demand and just.. didn’t think it through on many levels.
